Sports Life Stories

A prime example occurred in March at White Hart Lane, when Bolton's 23-year-old midfielder Fabrice Muamba collapsed from a heart attack during his side's FA Cup tie against Spurs.

I can't speak for the fans in the crowd, but for those of us watching at home, equally unsure at first as to what had happened, the full extent of the horror was ominously hinted at by the TV director's refusal to zoom in on those attending to the stricken player, clearly aware that the cameras could have been intruding on something truly unspeakable.

It was obvious he feared the worst. We all did.

It's the horrific events of that evening, and the subsequent medical miracle which means that Fabrice, thank goodness, is still with us, that are the subject of tonight's SPORTS LIFE STORIES.

Fabrice talks about his amazing recovery and those who've made it possible, as well as discussing what the future holds, now that he's had to quit the game he loves.
